So instead of being down one possession they are down 5. After the made free throw, ODU rushes back down court and jacks another three pointer. They miss of course and then foul again. Now they're down 7 points with like 30 seconds to go.
Why don't these coaches tell them to try and work the ball in for a good shot? Likewise, why do these teams immediately start fouling? There is 50 seconds left and it's only a one possession game. There is no need to immediately start fouling and jacking threes. You're pretty much giving the other team free points. D UP!!!!!
They ended up covering by 1 point but I was about to blow a gasket. I just new they were going to foul when they were down 7 with two seconds to go.
